Lederman (2016) in the article “Reconstructing RFRA: The Contested Legacy of Religious Freedom Restoration” argued that viewing corporations as religious entities would harm third parties in commercial settings.

At first blush, the argument against abortion is an easy one. After all, so many women have a hard time getting pregnant in the first place, that there is no reason for any woman who turns up pregnant should even want to end that baby’s life, right?
